Title: These six air compressors, manufactured by the Jaeger China Machine Company of Canada Ltd., in St. Thomas, were on their way to Nepal in December 1958. The machines were purchased by the General Services Administration of the United States and were to be used for air hammers on construction projects in Nepal. The order for the compressors, valued at about ,000, was given to the Jaeger Co. as the result of competitive bidding on the contract by manufacturers in Canada and the U.S.A. Prior to this order, similar machines had been shipped to Turkey, Saigon, Vietnam and the Philippines. Here, checking the shipment as it is about to be packed is Hubert Frank, fitter, left, and John Shaw, traffic manager.
